So Blessed
In a year where many have suffered financially, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to move to a new place, with job (at least for one of us!) in hand, and have to opportunity to open a new chapter in the life of my family.
As the year closes, I am feel so blessed to have a healthy family and a wonderful support system that helps me through good and bad times.
Today, Mike and I were able to close on our new home, ending 2009 on a happy note. After more than a month of transient living, the moving truck arrives at our new home tomorrow morning. The movers will unpack our belongings and move them into a home where we plan to create more memories with our son.
I am blessed. I am thankful.
Posting will continue to be light (with the occasional photo, I presume!), as I work to unpack boxes and build my new home.
May 2010 bring everyone health, prosperity, and happiness!

Waiting for Santa Claus
Patrick takes over our bed to watch The Backyardigans.
Happy to see Dada!
Has Patrick been a good boy or a bad one?
Merry Christmas from the Residence Inn in Raleigh!

Dreaming in Raleigh
The latest in sleep: Mickey, Winnie, two blankets, the Christmas card sent from Grandma, and "Poochie" the dog, which he rests on his head. Classic!

Raleigh
We have been in Raleigh a little over a week now. It's been a busy week, full of real estate appointments and learning a new city.
We are all adjusting well to this change - it's been very welcome and we are confident we made the right decision in coming here.
Give me a few weeks... I might have more news. :)
